US official: Trump to hold China tariffs at 30%

  • There is some real confusion here
Trump tariffs

An official cited by Bloomberg:

  • Trump will hold new China tariffs at 30%
  • 10% baseline
  • 20% fentanyl
  • Total effective tariff rate will be 55%

I don't understand how the math here works.

Update from a Bloomberg reporter:

I'm told the "55%" he cites here is the status quo - no change from last month's truce. 10% baseline, 20% fentanyl and what Trump is calling ~25% for all the preexisting 301, MFN, etc tariffs, per an official.
